Listing at the right price is crucial and a professional appraisal from Ransel Real Estate Appraisals will ensure you get it right.

If you're planning on putting your house on the market soon, an appraisal is a step in the right direction. Don't think of an appraisal as purely an expense; it pays you in the long run! Unless a homeowner spends hours every week on real estate valuation, like an appraiser, it's difficult for them to get a handle on local real estate values.

It's tempting to want to base your home's value on the costs of purchasing and upgrading your home, or the amount you'd like to get for it. Instead, an appraisal provides a professional opinion on your home's market value. After all, a home is only worth what another person is offering to pay.

Appraisals are valuable tools for homeowners selling without an agent

More and more Louisiana homeowners are making the decision to sell their homes FSBO (For Sale By Owner) and foregoing the assistance of a real estate agent. But to do it right, quickly and for top dollar, you need a professional appraisal. The best thing to have is an objective opinion, and we understand that it can be very hard to take an objective look at your own home because of your emotional attachment to it. We will explain to you what you need to know, not just what you want to hear.

Not only can getting a professional appraisal help you set a realistic selling price so your home will attract buyers, a professional appraisal can:

Give you an advantage while negotiating once you have a potential buyer
Impress buyers with written proof of the interior and exterior condition of your home
Alert you of issues and get rid of any overlooked repairs hassles that might stall a closing
Lower the odds of unknown problems that cause sales to go up in smoke

It can be surprising to people when they find out the value of their home is higher than they first thought. So investing in a professional appraisal allowed them to get several thousand more than they originally expected. Others have an an inflated assessment of the value of their home, and an appraisal gave them the assistance they needed in order to set a more reasonable price for their home in order for it to sell quickly - instead of gathering dust on the market for months. An overpriced home causes buyers to back off, which means no offers and no closing, wasting your valuable time and draining your resources while your house waits for a buyer.
